Weekly Check in. Aug 23-29
Day late but still here. I'm wondering if we should just start a new group or continue to try get this one going? Any feedback would be wonderful How was everyone's week? I went off the wagon last week, had out-of-town guests, didn't track, overindulged, and now trying to get back on track. But it was a fun week.

Roll Call - who is still around and would like to see this group more active
Hello everyone My previous success on MFP included being part of active groups on here that helped keep me motivated and accountable. However, that was a few years ago and the groups don't seem as active as they use to be. I'd like to change that if there are others interested. If that's you, please respond below with an…

Back to repeat past successes and learn from past failures.
My name is Opalle, 7 years ago MFP helped me lose over 35 lbs. Since then I've been up and down, including my heaviest when I quit smoking a few years ago but lost that weight pretty easily. Not enough to be at a "normal" weight but enough to get lazy on healthy habits and start the upward trend again. I'm currently…

Habits instead of numbers?
Hi everyone. I'm back again and having a hard time getting motivated. I first joined back in 2015. I was 187 lbs and thought that was as high as I’d ever get. I was eager and excited to make changes and I was successful in losing over 30lbs, then I stopped logging, quit smoking, and gained back every lb plus an extra 25,…

Costume ideas
Since a lot of us are undecided for our costumes, I thought it would be a good to have a thread for costumes ideas and inspiration. The boyfriend and I do something as a couple. We've done the superhero thing, disco, senior citizens and hillbillies so far. I'm thinking maybe Princess Leia and Han Solo this year or Jack and…

Diet break duration and advice?
I've been doing this for almost three months. I've lost 19lbs. Everything is going great but I also know I have months ahead of me and I think now is a good time to take a diet break. If I understand correctly doing this will help with adaptive thermogenesis and I've seen it recommended if your goal will take more than…

Strength Training Noob With Questions
I want to start strength training as it seems to be beneficial when losing weight but trying to research it leaves me more confused. I don't have access to a gym so that's not an option. I am willing to purchase some dumbbells but don't have the space for barbells. I also don't have much spare cash so I would only want to…

Bacon Question
We get our bacon from Costco and on the label it says two pieces are 230 calories. I thought that's a lot for just two pieces of bacon so I substituted it for turkey bacon that is only 70 calories for two pieces. A big difference, but also not that tasty to me. When I looked online, I saw that the Costco bacon is listed as…

brunch help.
Hi everyone I just started on my weight loss . I think I'll be ok with my calories throughout the week but weekends are going to be tough. I put on a brunch every Sunday and have for years. My kids are older and even the one out of the house will often come and sometimes extended family members too. Its a time we all get…

Egg shells?
Does anyone use powdered egg shells to supplement their calcium requirements? If so how do you take it? Do you combine it with food or just straight up with a glass of water?

Having the talk with your significant other about your weight loss quest
I am really determined to make these life changes and to lose the weight. I'm not doing a diet that will end and I go back to old habits. I want to make new lifelong good habits. So with that kind of change, I think I really need to have a talk with my partner about what I'm trying to do. However, I am terrified about…

Looking for some fellow apples.
I'm an overweight apple body type so not only do I worry about health issues from my weight, I'm also at increase risk from my waist. Plus trying to find clothes that will still fit my rear without the excessive muffin top is almost impossible. Any other apples out there want some encouragement as we get rid of our bellies?

Clothes when your starting - to buy or
So I have a big family event this weekend. Its at a cabin at a lake. A lot of people will be there I haven't seen in a year. I've already accepted I'm going there 20lbs heavier than last year. I was overweight last year too just not as much. I know I'll get some comments but that's fine, I'm just looking forward to having…

Accepting that no, I don't need to eat the whole thing.
In addition to calories and exercise I am also working on bad habits and lifestyle changes for success. Today I threw out the last quarter of my breakfast sandwich. I was just full. Even though I had a few bites left, instead of forcing those last bites down, I threw it out. May not seem like a big deal but the old me…

Feeling like the odd one out.
Ok I know it's stinking thinking but I need to vent. Out of our small office of 5 people I'm the only one with a weight problem. All of them are either skinny or fit. Other than staff there is one women who comes in once or twice a week to do the books. When she was hired, one of the words the boss used to describe her was…

Had my OMG moment and now trying to lose.
Hi everyone. I'm kinda new here. Joined last year but didn't do much with either the app or the weight loss. 10 yrs ago I lost 30 pounds. Kept it off through a nasty divorce. Since then life got prettty good. I got a great new job, great new man, but since he moved in a few years ago the complacency pounds have piled on.…
